I’ve kept my eye on Antonio Berardi ever since Lupita wore that bright orange dress when she first appeard on the scene whilst promoting 12 years here in Toronto at TIFF. And I think I’ve said it before, if it (he)’s good enough for Lupita, then it’s good enough for me!

LUPITA NYONG’O!!! (In Prada) My girl was flying and gliding high all the way to the top!!! So proud and happy for her! She deserves it all! Now I’m just waiting for CoverGirl to sign her on so we can all get Lupita-fied. (Yes, I’m a Stan and I’m damn proud of it).

I will shamelessly boast that I was the first (ahem, at least I think I was) to point out that Lupita Nyong’o was someone to keep your eye on. I certainly hope Joan, The Fashion Police Squad and the Joan Rangers out there have done the same, because this girl is a SHOWSTOPPER.
